Hello BBV, My name is Colin Piddle, I'm a 99 year old man in my twilight years. Still working 50 hour weeks at the gas station.

Today I had a day off and decided to play some pokers. I suffered what many like to call "a bad beat". I felt like throwing my computer out the window after this hand. Take care BBV and look after your loved ones.

I know it sucks, but what can you do? Gotta lose that money.

5% of the time, you'll lose every time. My advice would be to get staked and pass the losses onto someone else.

TLDR, fold river

Noob

The Denmarkian might be right. Crazy times we live in....

Red-rumped agouti

Calm down, you're talking the crazy talk again

Solid advice

Sammy is right. If I won I could have played a $1000 event and got more bad beats.

Yes it always happens.

No taxes on losses OP, could be worse.

true

Prolly should pay some voluntary contributions so that the tax funds don't run dry

I can't believe you lost a pot for $116,650 dollars, how do you play such nosebleeds Mr. Piddle?!

They're Kiwi dollarydoos. That's only about $71k American.

You need to protect your over-pair by betting the flop and turn.

As played super easy fold river. Any combo of a pair of 9s gets there.

Well I've been working at a gas station for 85 years. I had some savings. Now I'm broke.

Yes well easy for pros like you to say such things.

Just need to study gto 3.50hrs a day, easy game. Flop is obv 12.3% bet, 34.5% check, 66.6% fold, it's not rocket science

Yes good point

should of have had triple-range merged

should of have had quadruple-range merged.

Should Have Mice and Men be required reading in schools?

should of have had , could of have had , would of have had . At least OP admitted he messed the hand up

Thanks Mr Sheep for the spelling assistance
